I'm not saying DIS is fudging the numbers but I question ESPN + and Hulu.
I like Hulu but I'm using it less and less and when we talk about cutting something Hulu comes up first.
ESPN+ is a total joke. I guess it's an MMA channel.
This streaming service was not the only great development the company had. The number of subscribers for its ESPN+ service came in at 21.3 million. That represents an increase of 4.2 million in just one quarter. Not only that, the company also saw pricing rise from $4.57 per month to $5.16 per month. All in all, the run rate revenue for this service should now be about $1.32 billion. And we also experienced an increase when it came to Hulu. According to management, subscriber counts increased by 1.5 million, climbing from 43.8 million to 43.5 million. And average pricing grew from $19.09 per month to $19.96 per month. The run rate revenue for this should now be $10.85 billion. As a result of all of these improvements, this brings annual revenue associated with these three streaming assets up to $19.04 billion.
Listen maybe this is true but real world experience does not back this up.
